Upon going through my notes, I found that I still was not putting this page to good use.
Years ago, before Bogart, I felt the need and desire to create a sanctuary for dogs in memory of my grandparents, my father, and Vangogh (my rescue dog from RI - ½ Husky and ½ greyhound).
What happens to your pet when you are put into a ‘nursing home’ or what is so sweetly called today a long term care facility? We all know. There is a hope for someone to care for the animal by family or friends. However the majority of the time the canine companion ends up at a shelter and for the most part put down.
In my neighborhood here in California we have foster youths. These boys lost their parents. Upon being put into the government system, they then lost their dogs. Their dogs were also put down.
This sickens me to the point where my heart mourns for those who cannot love their pet companion and dare not speak of them for the truth of knowing would break their hearts beyond repair, and for those pet companions that cannot understand the torn apart from the life they love to die in a cold and unfeeling dungeon of a facility.
As most people usually say, there is nothing to do, however I am a firm believer that there is always something you can do. It may not be the best solution, but it is the beginning process to the perfect solution.
On this blog I will be adding advertisements, soliciting donations, and offer services to hotels for evaluation of their facility and place an article on my blog promoting their establishment.
I just purchased a Bark Street Alley domain. I will be creating a 501(c)(3) Called “Bark Street Alley”. (barkstreetalley.org)
As time and finances permit, a basic mission statement will be posted on the new website as well as information on how to participate in creating facilities nationwide from donation of time and services/skills to contributions from cash to supplies.
When either child or adult, by no choice of their own are put into the government system (foster homes/institutions), hospice, or nursing homes this dog sanctuary will be a haven for dogs (and eventually other domestic animals) that belongs to either the elderly, foster children, the disabled, terminal patients, and even people who are recovering from a major ailment/ accident.
This organization will provide shelter for these animals while their owners are unable to have them with them on a daily basis. These dogs will be transported to the long term care facility or to the foster facility once a week for the well being of both the animal and their human companion.
If the pet owner in the long term care facility pass, the dog will then be adopted out to a new loving home.
If the pet owner is discharged from the long term facility or the foster child is either adopted or becomes an adult, their canine companion will be returned to them at no charge.

Time to break new ground.
